Unpacking the Cisco 6100 Series System

This chapter provides instructions for unpacking, verifying, and inspecting your shipment of the Cisco 6100 Series system Advanced Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexer (DSLAM). This chapter also describes the safety guidelines for a Cisco 6100 Series system Direct Connect configuration.

Note Before you install a Cisco 6100 Series system, you might find it helpful to read the Cisco 6100 Series User Guide, which contains functional and physical descriptions of Cisco 6100 Series hardware components.

Caution Before you start the installation procedures, read the entire chapter for important information and safety warnings.

1.1 Unpacking the Cisco 6100 Series System

Each Cisco 6100 Series system chassis is securely packaged in a shipping box. The Cisco 6100 Series system components ship either:

With the modules installed in the chassis and any additional modules packaged separately.
Without the modules installed in the chassis. Each module is individually packaged in its own antistatic carrier.

The module antistatic carriers ship together in a box. The network interface (NI) module is packed in its own antistatic bag, which is housed in foam inserts and shipped in a separate box.

Caution Proper ESD protection is required whenever you handle Cisco DSLAM equipment. Installation and maintenance personnel should be properly grounded using ground straps to eliminate the risk of ESD damage to the equipment. Modules are subject to ESD damage whenever they are removed from the chassis.

To unpack the Cisco 6100 Series system, complete the following steps:

Step 1 Inspect the packing containers. If any damage or other signs of mishandling are evident, inform both the local freight carrier and Cisco before unpacking. Your freight carrier can provide you with the procedures necessary to file a claim for damages.

Step 2 Carefully open the box.

Step 3 Remove all packing material.

Step 4 Remove the chassis.

Warning Two people are required to lift the chassis. Grasp the chassis underneath the lower edge and lift with both hands. To prevent injury, keep your back straight and lift with your legs, not your back.

Step 5 Carefully open the additional boxes, remove the packing material, and remove the modules.

Step 6 Open the accessory kits that contain the cables, ferrites, documentation, and management software. Do not use a knife to open these boxes.

1.2 Verifying Your Shipment

Note To see translations of the warnings that appear in this publication, refer to the Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information for the Cisco 6100 Series System document that accompanied this device.

Caution Before you start the installation procedures, read the entire chapter for important information and safety warnings.

Caution Do not mix CAP ATU-C, DMT-2 ATU-C, and STU-C modules in the multiplexer chassis (MC). Mixing modules can cause unpredictable system behavior.

Caution Be careful when you remove the standoff screws and reinsert the screws into the screw holes on the backplane so that the backplane circuitry does not become damaged.

Caution Installing the modules in the chassis with the power leads reversed can damage the modules.

Caution If fuses are already installed in the fuse and alarm panel, remove them. You can replace the fuses after the system is installed. Do not power up the system while you install and connect the system.

Caution If the modules are installed when you apply power to the system, you could damage the modules and the chassis.

Caution It is important that the MC cooling fans run continuously. The system could suffer thermal damage if the fans stop running for more than 30 minutes.

Warning

The customer 48 volt power system must provide reinforced insulation between the primary AC power and the 48 VDC output.

Warning There is the danger of explosion if the battery is replaced incorrectly. Replace the battery only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer. Dispose of used batteries according to the manufacturer's instructions.
